Serendiptichord

The result of a cross-disciplinary investigation spanning fashion, technology, music and dance, the
Serendiptichord is a wearable musical instrument that entices the user to explore a soundscape
through touch and movement. This curious device is housed in a bespoke box and viewed as part of a
performance. Unpacked and explored on and around the body, the Serendiptichord only reveals its full
potential through the intrepid curiosity of its wearer. Adhering to the body like an extended limb, this
device is best described as choreophonic prosthetic. Referencing the architectural silhouette of a
musical instrument and the soft fabrication of fashion and upholstery, it is designed to entice the
wearer to explore its surface through touch, physical manipulation and expressive movement. Although
this acoustic device can be mastered alone, it also holds subtle openings for group interaction.
